Quick Restriction Map (10 common enzymes)
Before you order a gene block—or fire up a diagnostic digest—run a quick restriction map. The classic in-silico enzyme scan is still the fastest sanity check for cloning projects, pulling about 8 000 Google searches a month for “restriction map tool.” Our mapper keeps everything local, so proprietary plasmids never leave your browser.
- Who’s it for? Bench scientists, iGEM & Biodesign teams, CRO cloning cores, and anyone double-checking a plasmid.
- What it does Scans 10 high-frequency enzymes and reports every cut position on both strands plus overall GC %.
- Why it helps Flags unwanted sites before synthesis, guides primer design, and confirms digest band patterns in seconds.
Why this tool matters
- One-screen sanity check: virtual maps remain the fastest way to confirm a plasmid’s backbone before you spend on sequencing or synthesis.
- Cloning workflow ready: pairs perfectly with Benchling’s in-app digest or NEBcutter visual gels—copy the site list straight into those platforms.
- Education & hackathons: iGEM and university courses still teach manual restriction mapping; this browser-only widget lets students iterate instantly without installing ApE or SnapGene.
- Privacy & speed: all parsing happens in JavaScript (similar to GenScript’s and RestrictionMapper’s public tools), so IP-sensitive designs stay local.
